Bergdorf was interviewed by Morgan and his Good Morning Britain colleague Susanna Reid on the breakfast show earlier this month.

The interview took place just days after L’Oreal ended their partnership with the model due to comments she had made in a Facebook post in response to the violence in Charlottesville, America. The move resulted in the #IStandWithMunroe hashtag trending on Twitter.

L’Oréal champions diversity. Comments by Munroe Bergdorf are at odds with our values and so we have decided to end our partnership with her.

Bergdorf explained in the GMB interview: “I don’t think that all white people are by nature racist.

“From conception to birth I think that we are all the same, but we need to speak about how we are socialised as people, and my post was based on socialisation and racism as a structure.”

Since being dropped by L’Oreal, Bergdorf has been taken on by British beauty company Illamasqua.

Speaking at the inaugural Diversity in Media Awards last weekend, Bergdorf told DIVA magazine that she was “super excited” about her new campaign with Illamasqua:

“The last few weeks have been a bit crazy. So I’m excited about getting out to events and using my voice and platform to elevate other voices, of trans women of colour especially because we’re woefully underrepresented.”

Rain Dove, a model and colleague of Bergdorf’s for Illamasqua, said on finding out that the pair would be working together:

“When I first went in to do the campaign shoot, I didn’t know that I’d be working with Munroe.

“The minute that I saw, I was like I better sit down and shut up real quick and listen to what this person has to say and educate myself because I know that there’s going to be a lot of press based around this and we need to be able to support each other.

“Diversity comes on many levels and I think people need to listen with their ears and not their mouths and unfortunately that’s what happens.”

Tweets have continued to come through today with one of the latest by Bergdorf reading:

I wonder what Pale Stale Male Morgan would do without constantly antagonizing minority groups over social media for ratings and coverage?
